Glowing lines, finding no fault with any
D vss either for political or personal rea-
s ans We are simply looking at things
=. thew are now, have been, and are
IiIalv to be. Let me dropping the
,n1I first person plural"j look at
ibo committee choices seryidtim.
Thomas ID. Dee is chairman OF the
Committee on Municipal Laws. So he
hos been before, besides being the COM
lifting magistrate. He is assuredly the
anlv man in the Council who knows any
,binc about law How much or how
iinle am not able to say, not being a
I IScist or urisconsult myself. But he has
,be reputation. He is generally fair, and
sould be fairer still were he not mem
her of an organization recognizing no law
HIGHER than that of the Church OF Jesus
Christ OF Latter-day Saints. But let him
BASS at that.
On Water Supply, l find Joseph A.
West Mt the head. Clever? | should
.N, There are few better informed
msmbers OF the T.. p. p. in Weber County
than this gentleman. He is an expert
enced engineer, a thorough mathemati-
cian. and what he does not know about
j water works can be found in the supply
n dthe files OF the Ogden Junction of 1879.
4 Bot give him credit on water. He has
\ been in the insurance and real estate
4 business. That may account for it.
Joseph Clark, at the head OF the
License Committee, gives promises OF a
fair, square deal. He'll see that 81
means 100 cts. In fact, he is possibly the
most popular, though he may not prove
the most efficient, member OF the Council
The most efficient, | venture to state
right here and now, Notwithstanding OPP
posing DEGREES, will be John Reeve, a
gentleman whom one might turn and
twist with rs much ease as the Rock OF
Gibraltar. He will continue to expand
maintain and develop the street improve
ments so well inaugurated by Councillor
Driver "a revelation OF his, by the way
and, by the way, OF marriage OF theil
children. Mr.. Reeve can be depended
upon to be fair square, upright and solid
Alderman A. 7. Wright, being well
known ~ a straightforward and honest
as well as Il strict business man, Will fl
the workmanship OF the Committee OF
Claims in satisfactory manner. lie
won't recommend any unjust bill to be
paid, even though contracted at Wrigh
Sons.

but there is nothing to attract my atten
ton or deserve your space, unless it be
The finance department, at the head oi
which | again see the deservedly honoreC
4 name OF John 4. Boyle, name that

be wanted to, run on an Independent
ticket although he is religiously Il Nor

One word and ri have done. Thu
chairman OF the Committee on Publi
Buildings is practical builder. But
doubt whether he would have beef
elected in Evanston, Wyoming, even o.
astraight ticket.
